SSHRC Insight Grants -- 2 funding streams available
SSHRC has diversified its Insight Grant program and now offers Stream A and Stream B. Very exciting!
This change is meant to address a perceived bias encouraging larger and longer grants and to address a perception that there are currently no options for established scholars seeking smaller grants to support ongoing research.
Stream A (duration 2-5 years) $7K -- 100K
Stream B (also 2-5 years) $100K -- $400K (max $100K/yr)
Both streams are adjudicated by the same committees and will receive the same review (including external assessments).
Committees will receive SEPARATE budget envelopes dedicated to each stream. Stream A would have a target success rate higher than Stream B.
